After easing back into the office over the first quarter, Singapore has announced the most significant update to allow 100% of employees to return to the workplace from today (up from 75%). The latest update also includes masks no longer being mandatory in the workplace when employees are not physically interacting with others or in customer-facing areas.

In light of these updates, we’re catching up with Accela Talent’s Client Director Vanessa Mittman to better understand what she’s seeing in the market with candidates and clients when it comes to the increased demand for work from home opportunities.
